Mother nature has recently decided to show us her “brighter” side by giving us several sunny days in a row! Now is the time to plan for warmer months coming our way. The threat of winter storms have passed (hopefully) and what better way to enjoy the longer days than by getting important projects done outside?
Quick Items to Complete in a Weekend
•Prevent mosquitoes from settling in your yard by getting rid of standing water or maintain the area regularly.
•Inspect concrete and asphalt for any cracks and schedule repairs as needed. Damaged concrete may need to be completely replaced but asphalt can often be patched.
•Check for termites swarming from March – June. If you have holes in the woodwork that winged insects are crawling in and out of, it’s time to call a professional pest control company.
•Wash exterior windows by using a hose attachment or hiring a pro. This will increase the brightness in your home and it’s curb appeal!
•Clean gutters & downspouts after the last frost has passed, and make sure the water runs away from the home. This can prevent potential damage from heavy spring rains.
•Check irrigation & sprinkler systems to ensure they are working properly.
•Repair or replace screen doors and windows that have holes or tears. Repair kits can be found at most DIY stores.
Big Ticket Items to Budget For
•Check your roof, or have a professional check, for any damage done during winter storms. If you notice anything that needs repair, call a roofer.
•Spring is a great time to repaint your home’s exterior. You can work with a color consultant to make your dreams a reality!
•Every two years or so wooden structures on your property need to be resealed and stained. This may be the year to address those decks, railing, fences, and pergolas!
•Have your air conditioning unit serviced in the spring, before you desperately need it! You can often get deals on professional servicing this time of year.
Cheers to you for getting a jump start on your spring cleaning!
